Chapter 372 A thousand pieces of gold only to make his wife smile
Everyone around was stunned.
Lu Jingyan, the cold-faced devil, actually fed his wife candy?
Lu Jingyan put the candy away and then took Su Wantang to the snack counter.
"Are these hawthorn slices tasty?" he asked the salesperson.
"It's delicious, sweet and sour, and very appetizing," the salesperson said.
"Give me half a jin." Lu Jingyan took out his money again.
"Where's the maltose?"
"It's delicious, sweet but not cloying."
"Half a pound, please."
Lu Jingyan bought seven or eight kinds of snacks in one go, all of which Su Wantang liked to eat.
The sales clerk wrapped up the items and handed them to him. Lu Jingyan took them and then pulled out a stack of meat coupons: "I'll take this malt candy."
The sales clerk was stunned: "Commander Lu, didn't you just buy something?"
“Not enough.” Lu Jingyan handed over the meat coupons. “I’ll exchange half a pound of meat coupons for a pound of maltose.”
The sales clerk gasped.
Meat coupons are in high demand now; half a pound of meat coupons can be exchanged for a lot of things. Lu Jingyan actually used them to exchange for maltose?
"Commander Lu, isn't this inappropriate?" the sales clerk said awkwardly.
"What's wrong with it?" Lu Jingyan placed the meat ticket on the counter. "My wife likes to eat it, so I'll change it."
The salesperson looked around and, seeing that no one objected, had no choice but to accept the meat ticket and weigh out another pound of maltose for him.
Lu Jingyan, carrying large and small bags, escorted Su Wantang towards the fabric counter.
A crowd gathered around the fabric counter, and several military wives were chatting together.
"Have you heard? The new girl, Shen Qing, comes from a very good family. Her father is a leader in a large unit in Beijing, and her mother is the director of a hospital."
“I’ve heard about it too, and he’s very capable; he’s already a major at such a young age.”
"Most importantly, she is beautiful and capable; she is simply a heroine among women."
"I think she and Brigade Commander Lu are a match made in heaven. Don't you see? They are both soldiers and both so outstanding."
The military wives got more and more excited as they talked, and their voices grew louder and louder.
Su Wantang stood not far away and heard their conversation clearly.
She didn't say anything, but just looked down at the candy in her hand.
Lu Jingyan's face darkened, and he pulled Su Wantang over.
The military wives immediately shut their mouths when they saw Lu Jingyan.
Lu Jingyan walked to the counter and said to the sales clerk, "Bring out your best fabrics."
The sales clerk paused for a moment, then asked, "Commander Lu, what kind of fabric do you want?"
"The best," Lu Jingyan said succinctly.
The sales clerk quickly took out a bolt of Suzhou and Hangzhou brocade from under the counter: "This is our best. It's a genuine silk brocade imported from Suzhou and Hangzhou. It's soft and gentle on the skin, and the colors are beautiful."
"How much?" Lu Jingyan asked.
"Ten yuan per foot," the salesperson said cautiously.
Those around gasped in shock.
Ten dollars a foot, that's incredibly expensive!
Without turning his head, Lu Jingyan took out some money and said, "Give me five feet."
The sales clerk was startled: "Commander Lu, five feet?"
“Yes.” Lu Jingyan placed the money on the counter. His voice wasn’t loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly.
"My wife has delicate skin, and only the best is worthy of her."
After saying that, he turned to look at the military wives who had been discussing the matter, his eyes chillingly cold.
Several military wives turned pale with fright when he looked at them like that, and lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.
The sales clerk quickly measured the fabric, her hands trembling.
People around her whispered among themselves, and their gazes toward Su Wantang changed from curiosity to envy.
Lu Jingyan put away the fabric and then pulled Su Wantang to other counters.
Along the way, he bought a lot of things for Su Wantang, from food to daily necessities, everything imaginable.
Seeing him carrying so many bags, Su Wantang couldn't help but ask, "Why are you buying so many?"
"I'll stock up for you," Lu Jingyan said matter-of-factly. "You're carrying two babies now, so you need to eat more good food."
Su Wantang was both amused and exasperated: "I'm not a pig, how could I eat so much?"
“If you don’t eat, our son has to.” Lu Jingyan said seriously.
Su Wantang couldn't do anything about it, so she let him continue shopping.
When Su Wantang reached the shoe counter, her shoelaces came undone.
She was about to squat down to tie it when Lu Jingyan had already half-squatted down before her.
"Don't move." He looked up at her. "I'll do it."
Su Wantang stood still, watching him carefully tie her shoelaces.
He moved slowly and carefully, his slender fingers deftly threading through the shoelaces to tie a pretty bow.
After fastening it, he checked it again to make sure it wouldn't come loose before standing up and saying, "All done."
Su Wantang looked at him, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Everyone around was stunned.
Lu Jingyan, that cold-faced devil, actually squatted down to tie his wife's shoelaces?
And the look in his eyes just now was so tender it could melt your heart.
Several military wives huddled together, whispering among themselves.
"My goodness, Commander Lu is so good to his wife!"
"You bet you saw it when we were buying fabric earlier. His eyes were so cold, it was terrifying."
"Look at how he treats his wife, he's a completely different person."
"Now I understand, Commander Lu only has his wife in his heart."
"That's right, what does it matter if it's Shen Qing or not? Commander Lu doesn't care at all."
The murmurs grew louder and louder, and Su Wantang could hear them clearly.
She glanced at Lu Jingyan and noticed that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, indicating that he had heard it too.
The two continued walking and happened to run into Shen Qing.
Shen Qing also came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. When she saw Lu Jingyan and Su Wantang, she paused for a moment.
She walked over and greeted them with a smile: "Brigade Commander Lu, Comrade Su, are you here to buy things too?"
"Hmm," Lu Jingyan responded indifferently.
Shen Qing glanced at the large and small bags in Lu Jingyan's hands, her eyes flashing: "You bought so much stuff?"
"I bought it for my wife," Lu Jingyan said matter-of-factly.
Shen Qing's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure: "Brigade Commander Lu is so good to Comrade Su."
"Of course." Lu Jingyan put his arm around Su Wantang's waist. "She's my wife. If I don't treat her well, who else should I treat well?"
Shen Qing's expression was a little unpleasant, but she forced a smile and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Su Wantang watched her retreating figure and couldn't help but smile.
Lu Jingyan looked down at her: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing," Su Wantang shook her head. "I just thought what you said earlier was good."
Which sentence?
"If you're not good to me, who will you be good to?" Su Wantang said, mimicking his tone.
Lu Jingyan curled the corners of his lips: "That's how it is."
The two shopped around for a while longer, and only left the supply and marketing cooperative after they had bought everything they needed.
On the way home, Su Wantang was tired and leaned on Lu Jingyan's shoulder.
Passersby turned their heads in disbelief, their eyes filled with envy.
Lu Jingyan protected her, walking very slowly, afraid of making her stumble.
As she approached home, someone quickly walked over and handed Su Wantang a letter.
"Mr. Bai, Wild Wolf asked me to give this to you."
Su Wantang took the letter, and the man turned and left.
She opened the envelope, and inside was only a piece of paper with three words on it: Gao Jianjun.
